First, Martin, I moved your post to its appropriate section. Not sure why you chose to pose your question on the Avatar request section. Hopefully, more members will read your post now and will be able to answer your question.

My answer to your question is YES. Yes you should neuter your boy. At a year old, I don't believe it will affect his growing. My boy, Tigger, was neutered quite young and at 4 is a very hearty, strong and healthy adult chow. Your boy will be grow similiarly provided his food is good and he gets the exercise he requires from you.

I agree. It is best to have him neutered.

It is definitely best if you know you do not have intentions of breeding him. Neutering will cut down on his desire to roam around looking for females and can tone down some territorial traits. It will not affect his growth. Definitely get him snipped!
